Rotate or flip objects

A rotated or flipped object pivots on its center point.

To create the illusion of perspective, suggesting that an object has rotated in three dimensions, see Skew objects.

Select Modify > Transform and select a Rotate command from the submenu.

Select any transformation tool.
Move the pointer outside the object until the rotation pointer appears.
Drag to rotate the object.

To constrain rotation to 15° increments relative to the horizon, Shift-drag the pointer.
Double-click inside the window or press Enter to apply the changes.

Drag the center point away from the center.

Do one of the following:

Select Modify > Transform > Flip Horizontal or Flip Vertical.
